To me, that's about where the buck stops - the rabid-right will say "this strategy is working" and the loony-left will "no it isn't".

I have no idea which is which.

But at the end of the day, this whole hair-brained adventure has been a disaster on a bunch of levels, and I cannot conceive that anyone still thinks this was a good idea.

Tens, maybe hundreds of thousands are dead, a country is in pieces, and a whole region is utterly unstable.
